Max got a new outfit from Nana and I realized that I have a shirt that looks similar, so being the cool mom that I am, I wore it so we could match! (Cue eye rolls now). Anyway, I had fun with it.
Max was 9 months old yesterday! I can hardly believe how fast time is flying. He is now 22 lbs, 29 inches and meeting all his milestones. The doctor asked all kinds of questions such as, "How does he react to strangers?", "Is he crawling/pulling up/babbling/etc.?" Yes, yes, yes, yes... Then he asked if he plays peekaboo and I said yes again. Then I thought "Does he mean, do I play peekaboo and Max reacts or does Max actually put his hands over his eyes and say 'peekaboo!'?" Because if that's what he's supposed to be doing then we are WAAAYYY behind. I asked the doctor what he meant by that and he meant does Max react when I did peekaboo to him! Whew, dodged that bullet. Yes, Max reacts when I play peekaboo with him. The doctor had a good laugh over that one!
Max could spend all day standing at the coffee table playing with the remote. He just loves to stand. He is cruising a little and I think walking will happen before he's one. He is still using baby signs: "light", "fan" and "dada" being his current favorites. He has at least 2 more teeth coming in at the moment, which will bring the total to 8. He eats really yummy things like "Super Porridge" - kale, brown rice, banana, flax oil, powdered kelp - it's actually not that bad! I try to eat his leftovers so I can benefit from his healthy diet. He is a joy and a blessing.
